People and Society of Tokelau

Life expectancy at birth in Tokelau is estimated at approximately 69 to 71 years overall, though precise and regularly updated figures are difficult to establish given the territory's exceptionally small population and limited formal statistical infrastructure. As a non-self-governing territory of New Zealand comprising three low-lying coral atolls — Atafu, Fakaofo, and Nukunonu — Tokelau has a total population of only around 1,500 people, which makes demographic data inherently variable and statistically sensitive to even minor changes.
